I've been pondering this:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/shimano-mount ... SwFqJWh~DG
Looks most like a Shogun praire breaker 1988/7, but the components don't match up (they were shimano not suntour equipped).
The reason I think shogun is because they were triple triangle, and the top of the seat tube reinforcement, and the ends of the seat stays look like the PB. The 87/88 PB had a chain stay u brake.
However the bike looks to be pink under the respray (not PB colours), and has low end Suntour gears (pressed steel front mech / thumb mounts). Also has bolted axle wheels.
Maybe they did a lower end bike under the PB? Can't find any images of a 87/88 trail or ground breaker, not sure they did them.
I would date it to 87/88 by the suntour components.
Although its a bit manky (respray needs rubbing off) it looks to have hardly been used (spoke reflectors, tyres). It seems to be pretty low end and probably not worth £20, but early Shogun PBs were very nice Tange Japan made frames, and this could be one of them
Anyone any idea? I'm usually pretty good at this....
